try just blowing air through the trumpet first, then play. something that has helped me get better at the trumpet is listening to professional trumpet players and trying to copy thier sound.

try playing a piece you play in band or wherever you play and when theirs a rest try breathing very close to the next note... give yourself enough time to get a full breath but just little enough so you dont have a chance to hold it. you could also try just breathing in then lightly breathing out before you start playing to keep you from holding your breath and keep some air moving ... just a few thoughts

Wat? o_o.. I've been going at the trumpet for 3 months and I can hit the F below that G. Have you made sure to do several lip slur exercise and lots of practice? (And when I say F I mean with good sound, I can hit the G but it's really pinched.)

no worries dood, i've been playing for about 14 years, and i started playing above the staff at about year 2 and a half. You'll be hitting that C before you know it.
